Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Donald Trump was the victim of a shooting in a country he has been inciting to violence for years. — Trump is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.
@Strandjunker Trump and all Republicans wanted the shooter to be able to carry an AR-15 up until the moment he fired it. Their failure to anticipate the inevitable consequences of the dangerous world they have created is unforgivable.
@bigbee You expect Populists to think their ideas through? You jest, obviously! @Strandjunker

@Strandjunker

Only one thing clear?

* This just happened in a country that has a incomparable track record of assassination attempts on their presidents or candidates.

* A country with the largest mass shooting record and gun owner ship in the world.

* A country that has the biggest military and weapon storage in the world.

Just some facts we, the rest of the world, witness astounded.

btw
The assassination attempt on Bolsonaro only created more votes for him so embrace for impact.
:(

@bitpickup @Strandjunker LOL! I assume you meant "brace for impact".
@Strandjunker i totally agree in the last couple of months he has made a lot of enemies with all his provocations.

@Strandjunker

Etwas boshaft könnte man auch sagen
dieses Attentat muss Vertretern der #NRA ziemlich peinlich sein

für die Zuverlässigkeit amerikanischer Waffen kann es erstmal kaum gelten

*Ironie off

@Strandjunker political violence is always wrong.
@subroutine @Strandjunker Nonsense, political violence is sometimes required. Let's make fascists afraid again. Spirit of Cable Street.
@subroutine @Strandjunker the 1st mistake is painting it "political", This is a fucking rapist, convicted felon, seditionist. time will reveal and confirm a pedophile and a traitor. THAT ha no place in politics , should be permitted sanctuary in politics and power. long, long overdue for this creature that would gladly destroy us all. A Hitler flattened Europe, murdered millions in his path and lust for power. Someone had the good sense to see the correlation
@Strandjunker Well… “Thoughts and prayers” is the proper response, if I remember correctly. 🥴
@fubaroque @Strandjunker I've checked in the cupboard and I'm pretty low on thoughts and prayers at present. Can I send him a heartfelt 'meh' instead?

@Strandjunker

Missed killing Trump by the length of his penis.

@Strandjunker yes. And his party and the gun lobby have been instrumental in ensuring that the equipment for violence is so readily available.

@Strandjunker

Exactly, and even in the same speech just before he was stopped short he proved that in the hateful words he used.

@Strandjunker

I wonder when - if - it will occur to Trump that people can vote against Fascism other than at the polls.

@Strandjunker a victim? 🤔 That was a setup of his own making... He was never in any rush to leave the stage
@Strandjunker he now gets to experience the same world he wants us all to live in. His solutions are now our remedy.
@Strandjunker
I guess he shouldn't worry so much about sharks and electric powered boats.
🦈🚣🏻🦈
@Strandjunker The stochastic terrorist is himself terrorized, what a surprise.
@Strandjunker I wouldn't be surprised if he planned it himself. This guy needs the attention of the crowd, otherwise he is just nobody, without it. Another guy shouting from the rostrum, which no one normally thinking will pay attention to. He's just nothing else as a time waste. Where even Mr. Reagan once told him that right in the face in one of the television interviews he gave in the 70's. The only very not ok thing is putting in danger lots of innocent people being there.
@Strandjunker The whole thing seems scripted in a way that I cannot explain.

@Strandjunker indeed

to put it in terms that my colleagues in the insurance industry can appreciate: he is the efficient proximate cause

@RufusJCooter @[email protected]

This is perhaps the one time in his life that Trump can actually be described as "efficient":

Proximate cause - Wikipedia

@Strandjunker he's specifically stated "the 2nd amendment" as a solution for candidates that aren't liked. He said that about Hillary and now here we are.

Literal foot in mouth situation.

@Strandjunker Yes, #Trump reaps what #Trump sows. In other words, you play around with Karma, she will bite your ass hard!
